Liar, Liar – You Want To Be Hired?

"This blog is so boring that everybody reading it will hate it."

Some statements, like the one above, make it clear on their face that they are a lie. In fact, some statements, again, like this one, are so obviously false (😊) that no reasonable person would believe them. But lies come in all shapes and sizes. They can range from an honest mistake to a white lie, to a full-on intentional whopper. And lies, whether misstating, mispresenting, or omitting facts, are often made worse not because of what the person has said (or not said), but because of whom the person has said it to. For employers and potential employers, a lie is a lie is a lie. And when an employee is caught, employers have powerful consequential tools they can utilize.
